The key will lie with those in power here and those that want it.

[The beings that kept them here in the first place.]

[The gods, then.]

Have you spoken with any of them?

A couple. My patron. Yours.

Not many and not for very long.

[And sadly without gathering much information.]

I spoke with Hel once. Odin a couple times. Nothing of importance was said. [He basically bitched at them.]

Getting a decent audience with them seems to require more effort than simply walking up and addressing one, and unfortunately we are at their mercy in that regard.

[And oh how he doesn't like that either.]

I haven't ever seen any of them in person aside from at that one festival.

[They can come out to play stupid ribbon games but not to address important matters.]

I was able to make a request to meet Hel at her shrine, provided I placed an offering first. But I did meet her at the festival in order to arrange it.

[A glance to his bracelet.]

Do they respond to being called out over these?

What request? [That is news to him.]

You can leave them messages on these. I tried it once, with Hel, on the day I arrived.

It's not important. It didn't get anywhere.

Did she answer?

Yeah, she did.

I told her to send me back, she more or less told me to get lost.

Hm... Not a request they're likely to grant for anyone.

But perhaps they'd be more responsive to something else.

You have something you want to ask? [Sasuke is pretty much done talking to them right now.]

I would like to know that it's possible.

[In case he can actually find a question that will get them somewhere.]

They usually reply, from what I know. [He has been in conversations before where people talked about messaging the gods.]

That's good to hear. I might be able to get something useful out of them eventually.

[Though he's not holding his breath.]

I think it largely depends on which one of them you talk to. [Of course he cannot back that up, since he has only spoken to a few.]

It might. They are far from identical.

[Perhaps his own patron would be more willing...]

Maybe we'd get more luck with Freya, going by the type of people she likes to bring in.

[All the people he met from there so far have seemed to be blabbermouths far too happy for their own good.]

That's Naruto's patron, correct?

[The idea does have merit, in that case.]

Yeah, that's the one.

[Any of them are likely to be more sociable than Hel was, though.]

What is yours like?

Hm. Our conversation was brief.

Fairly serious, fairly straightforward. More no-nonsense than some, but not without a sense of humor.

[He'd been working the dunk tank, after all.]

Sounds reasonable, at least.

[He should make more of an effort to find out what the other gods are like.]

Mm.

I will attempt contacting them, once I have a better idea of what I'd like to get them to tell me.

Okay.

[He falls silent, when he speaks again it's soft, almost as if he's thinking out loud.]

I think I'm going to find someplace new to eat for a while.

[Onigiri aren't as nice when the places you eat them have fresh memories of death.]

[Itachi closes his eyes. As much as he likes that place, the atmosphere has been tainted by recent events. It's unfortunate.]

... I'm sorry. I should have - [Found a better place to die? It had been close and comforting, but all the same...]

I should have gone somewhere else.
